Fantastic excursion! The schooner was so nice and covered if you wanted to stay out of the sun or offered a deck on top if you wanted sun. The staff was great, very helpful and provided great safety tips for snorkeling. Lunch was prepared and was DELICIOUS!!! I'd recommend this one for sure!
Well worth it

We were in Bonaire for a couple hours on a cruise. We booked a trip on the The Lady Bellais to go snorkeling. The whole experience was great topped to bottom. They were right there at the end of the cruise port got us checked in and had a bus was ready to go. The crew was awesome. They helped some of the older people in our group on and off the boat. The boat itself is a great boat to take a trip on. It has a lot of history behind it. It brought us to a great place to go snorkeling and the crew was with us in the water. If anything went wrong after snorkeling, they made us a really delicious lunch and brought us for a ride around for our last hour. I would highly recommend booking a trip with them. If we are back in Bonaire, we will definitely be back!
Fun, safe and informative!

Absolutely amazing adventure! Sanne and his crew were not only extremely professional & safety conscious but they were very fun! We had an amazing snorkeling experience, rope swing & delicious local food. I can’t recommend this excursion enough! When in Bonaire we will do it again! Thank you for such a beautiful experience.

Had an amazing trip on the Lady Bellais. Well organised and great comms. Picked up in cruise terminal. A lovely schooner with great crew. First time snorkling and it was amazing, saw some beautiful fish and corals. Had really nice lunch made by the crew and a complimentary bar with plenty rum punch/beer available. Topped off with a mega fun bus trip back to the port with music, singing and people on the street joining in. Highly recommend this trip.

Such a great tour! The boat was gorgeous, the crew was friendly and informative, and the food was great— they were even able to accommodate a vegetarian and gluten-free diet. This was an excellent way to start our visit to Bonaire, learning a bit about the history of the island and its people and animals. It was a bit sandy when we went so we didn’t see much snorkeling, but we still had a great time on the water and jumping in on the rope swing from the boat. Senna even lent us his towel because we forgot ours. Definitely a tour worth booking if you want to see Bonaire from a less crowded angle!
Great time on the Lady Bellais in Bonaire

We did this tour as an “on your own” cruise ship excursion. The Lady Bellais staff picked us up in front of the cruise terminal. A small van drove everyone to the marina where the Lady Bellais was docked. There were about twenty people on the boat. Far less than some cruise ship sponsored excursions. After a short boat ride narrated by the crew we were at our snorkeling destination The snorkeling was very good, we saw lots of fish, corals etc. After we snorkeled for a while the crew served us lunch. There was an open bar and the crew served your choice of alcoholic or non alcoholic drinks .There was a nice selection of both. After lunch several guests tried the rope swing into the water. We were back to the ship in plenty of time to explore the area around the port. Overall, the boat itself was very nice. The crew was very attentive to the guests and the snorkeling was very good. Communication after booking was on point. Would definitely do this tour again in Bonaire.
The best excursion on Bonaire
